[to Donny Gomez] And why that apartment? Who do you know lives there?
Nobody. I got a mental illness. I'm a firebug. I'm loco.
You're loco?
Who knows? (Madeline walks in) Maybe I'll set the lawyer lady's house on fire.
Hey, little man with the big mouth. It doesn't matter what you say, 'cause all your boys are going to hear is that you rolled on Alvarado. (Gomez surges to his feet. His hands are cuffed behind his back. The officer grabs his shoulders)
Sit down.
Just bought yourself another ten years. I'm going to hand-pick your cell mate.
[Brass and Maddy leave]
Well, that didn't help.
That kid wouldn't roll if I gave him a night with Jessica Alba.
You're really good at making enemies, Maddy.
That's why I'm unlisted, divorced and carry a gun.
Did you take Cook back to Little Gordo's house? You know, maybe to verify his story?
Yeah, I always take my secret witnesses on a bus tour of the hood.
You know, when Don Cook first refused to testify that he saw Alvarado come out of Little Gordo's house, you know what I did? I took him to an out-of-town diner and bought him a cup of coffee. What'd you do?
I went to Little Gordo's. (Brass nods, Maddy gets it now) Damn it. Good job, Maddy. They saw me. I can't even blame it on the booze. All they had to do was trail me back to the courthouse and watch me go into the security entrance with 18 escorted jurors. That's how they knew grand jury. Damn it! This is where you're supposed to say, "It's okay. It could happen to anyone. It's not your fault Don Cook is dead." Like hell it isn't.
